TreasuryDirect password cannot autofill
TreasuryDirect is a US government service that lets users purchase US bonds from the Treasury directly (hence the name). It's... old school, shall we say. This is the login page, but unfortunately you cannot get to the password page without entering a valid account number. I've attached a screenshot of the password entry page.
The intention, presumably to stymie keyloggers, is that the user clicks the keys on the virtual keyboard to enter their password. Obviously, this is slow and rather error-prone, especially with a long, complex password generated by 1Password. (Side note: the password is not case sensitive, which is a little scary) Unfortunately, 1Password in the browser cannot autofill the password. I experimented a bit with tweaking the page's HTML, and the issue seems to be that the input has the attribute readonly="readonly". When I delete that attribute, 1Password can fill the field correctly.
Are there any existing solutions to allow 1Password to fill this password? Right now, I hack at the HTML manually each time I log in, though I might investigate getting a browser extension that can do this for me. Interestingly, there are a couple previous threads about this, but they're ancient.

Maybe they read my comment:
I found no workaround for the pop-up keyboard. In the end, I just threw away my login entry, and my wife and I had a nice laugh.
:-)
A little off-topic for the 1P Community, but I have to say I'm absolutely elated to hear that TreasuryDirect is removing that awful security-theater keyboard.
Probably no need to spend much effort on this. The TreasuryDirect login page now says:
The Virtual Keyboard will be removed the week of May 7th to improve the customer experience.

Nope.

Hello everyone,
We've made some improvements here with 1Password in the browser version 2.7.0 and higher:
Logins now fill from the pop-up and new passwords are properly suggested on treasurydirect.gov.
When you're on the treasurydirect.gov login page, click on the 1Password icon in your browser's toolbar and then click Autofill. 1Password will fill your password into the website.

Hey this is still a problem (March, 2023).
Having to go in and inspect elements to remove the readonly attribute is not user friendly at all. Can we get some movement on this? There's this article from 14 months ago on how to work around it, but it would be just so awesome if, now that 1password is a browser extension; if it could handle that itself so I don't have to worry that my mom is reusing the only password she knows for the TreasuryDirect website, (it was enough work getting her moved over to 1password in the first place!) that would be such a relief!I'm looking forward to a solution. Has any progress been made or is there some estimate of when there will be support for that site?
